Re: [Kdiff3-user] OT: best text-based diff tool

[Joachim E. <joa...@gm...>]

Hi David,

The strictly console based ones I know are
GNU diff with the sdiff variant, wdiff and the ones you already seem to know:
vimdiff, emacs via ediff.

Graphical ala mc are vimdiff and "emacs -nw".
(Emacs even supports merge with base file.)
